ELIMINATION OF MIDDLE EAST'S WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION STRESSED IN DISARMAMENT COMMITTEE DEBATE CORRECTION

19981022

In Press Release GA/DIS/3116 of 20 October, the third full paragraph on page 18 should read as follows:

The representative of Eritrea said that concerning the question of the air attack on the international airport, his own Prime Minister in radio interviews in July had admitted to attacking first, as a pre-emptive measure. Nevertheless, his country had been accused of trying to confuse and confound people, but third-party verification would clarify all that. The Eritrean people and Government had expressed public sorrow about the civilian casualties and they had extended condolences to the bereaved families.
